Mindset Matters
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill and the will, but the will must be stronger than the skill.

Bangkok's Money Expo 2008.
I went there to find out new products and services. Trust me, that's all my intentions are. Just to find out new and innovative financial services.
At this booth, I was listening to how great their new insurance service is. I did not even have a chance to look at the presenters.

Guinness

1752 - Arthur Guinness is left £100 in the will of Archbishop Price. Three years later he sets up business as a brewer in Leixlip, County Kildare.

1759 - Arthur Guinness signs a 9,000 year lease on a disused brewery at St. James’s Gate, Dublin for an initial £100 and an annual rent of £45.
1769 - The first export shipment of six-and-a-half barrels of Guinness beer leaves Dublin on a sailing vessel bound for England.
1799 - The last Dublin Ale is brewed at the brewery of Arthur Guinness - and the decision is made to concentrate solely on the production of porter.
1801 - West Indies Porter - a precursor to modern day GUINNESS® Foreign Extra Stout - is first brewed.
1803 - Arthur Guinness dies and his son, Arthur Guinness II, takes over ownership and management of the Brewery.
